Default Front brake replacement

I am going to be replacing the front brake pads on my 93 GMC C3500 dually 2 wheel drive. I am not sure if I have to do the rotors or not yet, but I will check on that as well. My question is, do I have to replace the bearings inside the rotors, or can I reuse the ones in there? What types of parts will I need for this (inner and outer bearings, seals, grease, etc)? I have done it on regular rotors, but this dually is different for me.

Also, I am towing a 27" 5th wheel, and am confused on the different brands of rotor available. Do you go to NAPA, O'reilly's, Auto Zone, online, etc, etc.... I want to get good stopping power, but don't want to go with $600 in parts. Or maybe I have to.

Thanks for your help.

And any sites with pictures would be of great help.
